 ABSTARCT
The study examined the concepts and merits of “Smart Road” in future are that we shall utilize
every single resource to become road smart. The concept of smart road is the fusion of
technology it include information technology (IT) , intelligent Transportation system (ITS)
include sensor base and detecting system , Health monitoring system to caution accident in the
road , electric digital media to transfer information to road user , smart energy converter such as
photovoltaic pavements to build road which convert solar energy to electrical , radioactive
elements for road making which display in night , road divider concept which increase the road
usability , water proof roads for those area where monsoon season is present whole year, use of
GPS to allocate road driver where they are currently and where there go through digital board
and liquid electronic display , use of internet of things technology to build smart roads, wireless
vechicle charging , which become as a result of all these.
